I upgraded to a deluxe room and the bed was rubbish as soon as I sat or lay on the bed the mattress went flat and lumpy it was knackered I also upgraded to the half board option which when I went to pay for my evening meal no discounts were applied. It say you get a food & drink credit which turned out to be only £25 and even then I was only allowed to use on food so the upgrade option it so a rip off The walls are very thin and you can hear conversations from the next room and even when folk plug stuff in and turn switch’s on and off On the plus food is great

The staff were wonderful, fun and extremely welcoming. We stayed for 2 cozy, autumnal nights and this place lived up to our expectations. Waking up to peacocks outside our window was an unexpected and enjoyable surrpise.

Disappointed

We had Room 1 which can only be described as needing a complete makeover. Admittedly we didn’t pay a fortune but furniture was chipped& shabby, carpet dirty and damaged, room smelt of smoke, bath panel broken and shower head full of mould. Was very disappointed. Our friends had another room which was lovely that they had paid more for but we took what was the only room available at the time of booking.

This was a last minute stop over. Great food and fantastic value for money. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean and comfortable. Yes a little warm but like I said wasn’t overpriced so was very happy. The pub and function rooms look fantastic so would definitely recommend a stay or even just to stop for food.

Worth a stay

We spent 2 nights at The Vicarage - very pleasant experience. Friendly welcome very informative. Good choice at Breakfast - nothing too much trouble. Did not have evening menu as was visiting family in the area. Rooms reasonable size - also bathroom - shower could have been better - internet not great but overall very good stay - would return.
